writes that the winter of 1878 will
be moderate one. There will be
but few cold days, scarcely a day on
which the mercury in the thermom-
eter will stand at or below zero !;
there will not be more than one
heavy snowfall, and spring will
open unusually early.

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of disease is slight debil- ity or disorder of some of the vital organs the stomach, the liver or the bowels usually. troubesome inc skin grows fanv vne Ssr and ms 1s healthy looking, there are pains in the right side or through the right shoulder blade The climax is often an utter prostration of But if the difficulty is met in time with Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which is always eff fective as remedy, and it should be resorted to at an early stage, there will be no reason to apprehend those injurious subsequent eff fleets upon the system often entailed by en- tirely cured diseases. Far better is it, also, to employ this safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and other malarial complaints, than quinine and other potent drugs, which, even when they do prove effectual for time, ruin the stomach and impair the general health.

The estimated increase over the figures given in by the Assess or is placed at S5O0,000, which, if the Board maintains its action, will bring the assessable property in this county to nearly S2,000,000 This increase in valuation may not affect the rate of taxation this year, but will undoubtedly do so next, when a reduction may be looked for. The Board deserves praise for the thorough and conscientious manner Tn which it has performed its labors for the past sixteen days, and although it is possible that action in some cases be reconsider ed, the majority of those whose as sessments have been raised will have to stand it, as it is the opinion of each member that the value of the property of this county for assessable purposes has always ] Lon,, ,,Dla, a-f;,.,aEn1
